Tricia Wilson

It has been a very long time since I have entered this space. I have been busy!

After launching my book Adopting Grace, I imagined that I might be engaged in continued platform building. All of the conventional wisdom offered for authors these days revolves around platform building – numbers, numbers, numbers…

I was checking out at my dentist's office a few weeks back, and I came up on an interesting conversation. "Christmas is for men and for children." What followed was a long vent on how these two women had to do everything related to shopping, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, and coordinating the many aspects of their particular family Christmas with their adult children. I smiled a few times, and then I couldn't help it. I said this: "You know it doesn't have to be this way, right? We can make different choices." 

I had my share of parental struggles, but one thing I was quite good at was/is getting my children to appointments - dental, medical, tutoring, and all kinds of therapies. I am good at that. 

I was quite taken aback as a couple of my sons grew up and out of our home and pretty much refused to go to their regular 6 month dental check ups

Today is a milestone in the Wilson family. I just waved goodbye to our youngest child as she headed out the door and jumped into a car that will deliver her to her first day of high school.
